Algebra 1 1st Semester Spiral Review

Don't let your students' learning slip as the year goes by! Embrace the power of spiral review instead! With this rigorous, intentional spiral review, students will keep their skills sharp while practicing new ones as the year goes by. This review will give your students exposure to skills they might otherwise forget. What does this mean? No more cramming and stressing for end-of-year testing!

This resource can be used as HOMEWORK, DAILY PRACTICE, TEST-PREP, or daily WARM-UPS! This resource is also perfect for distance learning packets, at-home learning, independent work, and homeschool!

Check out the preview for a free week for each quarter!

Each quarter includes:

• 8 weekly spiral reviews that include 25 - 30 questions. Older skills are presented first, and more recent skills are introduced at the bottom of each day's column.
• 8 weekly quizzes (mostly open-ended, a few multiple-choice sprinkled in)
• A pacing guide that correlates each week's skills with CCSS standards, making planning easy for you!
• Answer keys for each spiral review and quiz
• Instructions on how to use the resource for those who are new to spiral reviews (or if you need a refresher)
• Ready to print and go pdf file
• Fully editable PowerPoint file

Skills covered for the 1st quarter include:

• Week 1: Write expressions using variables to represent real-life situations; evaluate and simplify expressions correctly using order of operations
• Week 2: Find cube roots of numbers; Classify numbers by subsets and organize numbers on a number line
• Week 3: Apply the properties of real numbers to simplify numbers; Use the distributive property to simplify or rewrite equivalent algebraic expressions
